Since her father lived in a town with a better school, Williams-Bolar listed his address when registering her girls in 2006. In 2009, she was arrested, charged with tampering records, and then convicted for felony.

While Williams-Bolar is not the first parent to lie about her address in order to get her kids in a better school, she is the first to be charged for doing so. Some are surprised by the harsh conviction, wondering why her particular case was brought to court. Now, she is faced with the extra burden of serving out her sentence while trying to raise her daughters.
